removing the end plates. Doing so can damage the unit and will void your warranty.
Operating temperature range is 0 degrees F to 110 degrees F. The unit will get warm,
this is normal, especially if using internal batteries. Do not fully enclose the unit on a hot
day.
Restrict input voltage to a range from 9V to 26V DC. Never apply AC voltage to the PDR.
Restrict powering other devices from the PDR output power to 300ma. You can power a
ChaseCam camera. Do not operate the SS1000 or another PDR from the PDR power
output. You can operate a PDR from the SS1000’s power output.
Unit is not waterproof. Should the PDR100 become wet, remove the Compact Flash card
and any power and/or batteries and attempt to let the unit air dry with the access door
open. If the fails to operate, contact the factory for repair. A hair dryer would be a good
idea to quickly dry the unit. Leaving the internal boards as wet will destroy the boards and
void the warranty.

batteries inside the unit. Leaking batteries WILL damage the recorder.
Care must be taken when using the PDR100 while in operation of any moving vehicle or
